Yes, I like nature9thApril
Of late, this is not the first tale I heard of intelligent relationship building overcoming jaded skepticism and the status quo. In the age of failed corporate duplicity we hear more leaders talking about transparency. We find more individuals dwelling on the meaning of accountability. And more people examining the real results of their livelihood as opposed to "going about proper procedures". There is less faith in dogma and more in the revitalization of family relationships. When is reality going to shatter the religion of cynicism? Now and throughout history, economic challenges do not bring out the worst in people. On the contrary, these "hard times" are when we truly shine.
With our current stretch of sunny weather, far more than the normal nature nerds seem to comment on how happy they feel with the arrival of Spring. For an outdoor educator like me, that's exciting. Maybe our currently simplified lives (less work) can lead to walks around town to visit our neighbors, sitting at the flowers to watch hummingbirds and nothing better to do but go fishing with our own kid or someone else's. These remarkable things are tangible. For now, let's enjoy how much naysayers are out of vogue and revel in the current trend of intelligent discourse and simple pleasures.
And while your at it, let my friend know you appreciate his life's work. Visit our greenspaces. Walk in the park. And maybe you'll be the one to say, "yes" to more green and wild.
